Title: Old Spice Commercials
Post by: cavalier973 on July 30, 2010, 12:14:36 AM
I don't have TV (except the one we use for watching DVDs), so I didn't see these commercials until recently.  Interesting and amusing

It reminded me of the Old Spice "Experience" website, with a 50-question test to see if you are an "experienced man" or an inexperienced boy:

I didn't even know (I don't watch commercials) Old Spice existed any more.  Last I heard it was a ghetto version of after shave and cologne.

I always liked how it smelled, and was drawn in by the "sailing ships" motif, but everytime I would try to use it,  people would tell me I smelled like an old man.  So I use Aspen instead.

They're pushing their Red Zone shower gels and stuff, which don't smell like Old Spice.  They have scents like Swagger and Midnight Molester, Creepy Pimp, Truckstop Hero, Bitches Dream, Ass Pounder, Guido Juice, French Tickler...

Its all indistinguishable from Axe.

Actually, no. 

I have a bottle of the Red Zone "swagger", because I wanted a cheap alternative to Ivory stuff (which is pure vanilla nothingness). 

It does have a lot of methylfreakolate sounding chemmies, but no aluminum.  It also has a substance called EDTA, which I never heard of.

EDTA is just a preservative.  It's found in apple juice and we use it to preserve blood in the clinical laboratory.

The soap. 

Oh, my anti-perspirant has aluminum crappophosphate cobravenom-9.  I assume I will be dying in short order, whacked out of my mind, frothing at the mouth.

I guess I'm alone in actually liking the smell of old spice.  Yes, I like Brut too.  I got a stockpile since my sister gives a me a gift pack of one or another (or that crap BOD).

I liked the smell of it, but I like the smell of pizza too, and I don't want pizza scented after shave or cologne.

So, did anyone go to the other old spice website?

I lol'ed but yeah, I don't think it's quite the same.

Never really gone in for anything apart from, "don't stink" (quite so much) but the sheer genius of those commercials almost makes me want to try it.

Have you seen the ads?  The whole joke is everything is so random and unusual it is a little shocking and unexpected.
